[j-nsp] redundant power AC+DC allowed?

[Vincent J. Bono]

Normally you can't do this due to the differing size of grounding wires in 
AC and DC configurtions.  The DC ground cables need to be much larger than 
the AC ones and for a product to be UL listed any connection to ground has 
to be able to carry 100% of the possible fault current at any operating 
voltage.

That does not mean it wont work, just that its not designed to do so and the 
M7 is small enough that it might not be a real issue.  That being I've 
looked and found nothing saying you can't in the docs however nothing says 
you can and I personally would not.
